and  eighty -eight,  forty-three  hundred  and  eighty-nine,  and  forty-three  hundred  and 
ninety  of  the  United  States  Revised  Statutes. 

Be  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives  of  the  United 
States  of  America  in  Congress  assembled,  That  no  railroad,  express  company, 
car  company,  common  carrier  other  than  by  water,  or  the  receiver,  trustee,  or 
lessee  of  any  of  them,  whose  road  forms  any  part  of  a  line  of  road  over  which 
cattle,  sheep,  swine,  or  other  animals  shall  be  conveyed  from  one  State  or  Ter- 
ritory or  the  District  of  Columbia  into  or  through  another  State  or  Territory  or 
the  District  of  Columbia,  or  the  owners  or  masters  of  steam,  sailing,  or  other 
vessels  carrying  or  transporting  cattle,  sheep,  swine,  or  other  animals  from  one 
State  or  Territory  or  the  District  of  Columbia  into  or  through  another  State  or 
Territory  or  the  District  of  Columbia,  shall  confine  the  same  in  cars,  boats,  or 
vessels  of  any  description  for  a  period  longer  than  twenty-eight  consecutive 
hours  without  unloading  the  same  in  a  humane  manner,  into  properly  equipped 
pens  for  rest,  water,  and  feeding,  for  a  period  of  at  least  five  consecutive  hours, 
unless  prevented  by  storm  or  by  other  accidental  or  unavoidable  causes  which 
can  not  be  anticipated  or  avoided  by  the  exercise  of  due  diligence  and  fore- 
sight :  Provided,  That  upon  the  written  request  of  the  owner  or  person  in  cus- 
tody of  that  particular  shipment,  which  written  request  shall  be  separate  and 
apart  from  any  printed  bill  of  lading,  or  other  railroad  form,  the  time  of  con- 
finement may  be  extended  to  thirty-six  hours.  In  estimating  such  confinement, 
the  time  consumed  in  loading  and  unloading  shall  not  be  considered,  but  the 
time  during  which  the  animals  have  been  confined  without  such  rest  or  food  or 
water  on  connecting  roads  shall  be  included,  it  being  the  intent  of  this  act  to 
prohibit  their  continuous  confinement  beyond  the  period  of  twenty-eight  hours, 
except  upon  the  contingencies  hereinbefore  stated :  Provided,  That  it  shall  not 
be  required  that  sheep  be  unloaded  in  the  nighttime,  but  where  the  time  expires 
in  the  nighttime  in  case  of  sheep  the  same  may  continue  in  transit  to  a  suitable 
place  for  unloading,  subject  to  the  aforesaid  limitation  of  thirty-six  hours. 

Sec.  2.  That  animals  so  unloaded  shall  be  properly  fed  and  watered  during 
such  rest  either  by  the  owner  or  person  having  the  custody  thereof,  or  in  case 
of  his  default  in  so  doing,  then  by  the  railroad,  express  company,  car  company, 
common  carrier  other  than  by  water,  or  the  receiver,  trustee,  or  lessee  of  any 
of  them,  or  by  the  owners  or  masters  of  boats  or  vessels  transporting  the  same, 
at  the  reasonable  expense  of  the  owner  or  person  in  custody  thereof,  and  such 
railroad,  express  company,  car  company,  common  carrier  other  than  by  water, 
receiver,  trustee,  or  lessee  or  any  of  them,  owners  or  masters,  shall  in  such  case 
have  a  lien  upon  such  animals  for  food,  care,  and  custody  furnished,  collectible 
at  their  destination  in  the  same  manner  as  the  transportation  charges  are  col- 
lected, and  shall  not  be  liable  for  any  detention  of  such  animals,  when  such 
detention  is  of  reasonable  duration,  to  enable  compliance  with  section  one  of 
this  act ;  but  nothing  in  this  section  shall  be  construed  to  prevent  the  owner  or 
shipper  of  animals  from  furnishing  food  therefor,  if  he  so  desires.
